520			_aThe Forest Rights Act (FRA) in Odisha plays a crucial role in shaping democratic governance by recognizing the rights of tribal and forest-dwelling communities. The act aims to correct historical injustices by granting land tenure and community forest rights to indigenous groups, ensuring their participation in decision-making processes. However, challenges in implementation, bureaucratic hurdles, and conflicts over land use continue to affect its effectiveness. Odisha, with its significant tribal population, has seen varied success in FRA enforcement. While some communities have benefited from legal recognition, others struggle with delayed claims and inadequate institutional support. The democratic perspective of the act lies in its ability to empower marginalized groups, fostering inclusive governance and sustainable forest management.
